IAF in 1973 Yom Kippur without US aircraft?...
Gepard replied to dtmdragon's topic in Military and General Aviation
The story that Israel had copied the Mirage 5 is not trustworthy. At this time Israel had not had neither the know how, nor the capacities to build such a plane by themself. Some years later that had changed. -
IAF in 1973 Yom Kippur without US aircraft?...
Gepard replied to dtmdragon's topic in Military and General Aviation
Quick and dirty mod of the stock Yom Kippur campaign. Replaced Phantoms by Shahak (Mirage III CJ), Skyhawks by Super Mystere Saar and american tanks by british. Have fun. -
IAF in 1973 Yom Kippur without US aircraft?...
Gepard replied to dtmdragon's topic in Military and General Aviation
Some years ago was an article in Air Forces Monthly about that subject. To make it short: High skilled, war experienced pilots were fetched from Vietnam area to fight for Israel. The only condition was that at some point they had had a Jew in their lineage. BTW. Its not true, that the Nesher was built in Israel. It were french made planes, which were shiped by USAF cargo planes to Israel. If someone has the chance to visite such a plane in a museum, you will find french made type signs on engines and the plane itself. -

Yom Kippur War only french planes in IDF service (What if) ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2I. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. History (fiction) What if the USA would never had sold planes and tanks to Israel? What if only french made planes and british made tanks would be used by the Israeli Defence Force (ZAHAL)? Would Israel survive the arab surprise attack? Its your turn to find it out! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. CREDITS: Since only stock files are used all credits goes to TK ---------------------------------------------------------- III. INSTALLATION: -Unzip the folders into your SF2I Campaigns folder To make the Super Mystere Saar campaign flyable you must install a cockpit for this plane. You will find a very good cockpit made by Stary in the download area. ---------------------------------------------------------- IV. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use the forum or send me a PM. ------------------------------------------------------------- V. The F-5GN(Soviet) and all other files are FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED! ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Hope you enjoy it.

IAF in 1973 Yom Kippur without US aircraft?...
Gepard replied to dtmdragon's topic in Military and General Aviation
Without american technic like planes and tanks and without the help of the american air bridge, which carried thousands tons of supply, Israel would have lost the war. It would run out of ammo, fuel, spare parts and it would not get fast replacement of shot down or damaged planes. Not to speak about the american pilots which had flown combat missions for the IDF. To survive Israel would have be forced to use its nuclear weapons. -

Austrian Mirages
Gepard replied to Spinners's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Since Austria is named L'Autriche in french i think the designation should be Mirage IIICLA or Mirage IIILA. -
At 8:40 the guy was unable to answer the question what this part was for. The answer is, that it is the fairing of the Delta NG device. Delta was used to guide air to ground missiles like the KH-23 or KH-66.

In reality the Yak-130 has no afterburner. So i think the model should have no afterburner too. BTW, not only the italian M-346, but also the chinese Hongdu L-15 is basing on the Yak-130 and looks very similar. What means you get 3 planes for one with the Yak-130 model.

How many skins you can have for a plane?
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks for answers. I will try it. edit. Write potection of the MiG-17F.ini file was the solution of the problem. Now it works fine. -
How many skins you can have for a plane?
Gepard posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Is there a limit how many skins you can have for a plane? I have a problem with the MiG-17F. I made two new skins for that bird, but only one appears. From stock the MiG-17F has 12 skins, with my working skin there are 13. Could it be, that 13 skins are the maximum? -
Airfield in water?
Gepard replied to orsin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I have downloaded the last version of Angola terrain and tried it out. I was unable to dublicate the airfield in water problem. So Melanje Airbase looks in my installation: My guess to solve the problem is to reinstall the terrain with the newest version. -
Airfield in water?
Gepard replied to orsin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I rather believe that some airfields are not leveled or flatend, so that they are under the heightfield of the terrain. If this happen it looks like the plane stands on water. -
Airfield in water?
Gepard replied to orsin's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The height of a terrain has nothing to do with the _data.ini of the terrain. The height is defined by the hfd file of the terrain. Make a screenshot and post it here. Perhaps we find a solution of your problem. -
water color
Gepard replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
As Wrench wrote, you must repaint all water tiles. The sea tile is a minor problem, you can take this file from an other terrain, as you want. But the problem are the coast tiles. Every single coast tile you must repaint. If not the terrain will look strange. -
If it should be a russian bird, so i would like to see the MiG project 33. It based on the MiG-29 technology and the older Ye-8 design. It was intended to replace the MiG-21. Here some pictures of a scale model which you can find in MiG museum Moscow:

Everything you wondered about the "Hunchback" Mil-24 Hind, but were afraid to ask
Gepard replied to Trotski's topic in The Pub
In version Mi-24P was a twin barrel 30mm gun. This gun had a water colling for the chamber. During winter time the cooling water was added with 40% alcohol. And btw, this stuff was really good. During drinking you got a lot of "rotations" in the head, but no headache the next morning. "Na storovye!" -
"Generic" nation ?
Gepard replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The MiG-21bis Fishbed N came with SF2 Israel. The folder is MiG-21bisB. It has as stock camo only a syrian camo. What explain why you get a tiger camouflaged MiG-21bis when the game engine is using that plane for Single Missions. Its the only available stock skin. The MiG-21F. The user list show that Finland is using that bird from 1963 to 1986. there is no stock skin available for a finish MiG-21F-13. So the game engine takes the first skin in the line, which is a silver soviet skin. The problem should be cured when a finish skin folder is created, with skins and a proper textureset.ini. -
"Generic" nation ?
Gepard replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The answer is simply: Try it. But make a backup of the file before you do it. BTW, the MiG-21N you mentioned is a moded plane? Perhaps it is a mod of the first generation WoX world. Such planes can cause the problem you descriped. -
"Generic" nation ?
Gepard replied to UllyB's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The setting "Generic" means, that this plane, vehicle, ship, Flak or SAM system is available for both sides (red and blue). -
